The delete button in Nostur works 👀👀👀
Discussion
In reality, delete works on the relays from which you’re reading in Nostur.
Right. It gives a disclaimer that the relays can honour the request or not.
First iOS client I’ve seen that lets me do this. Pretty cool to have the option
But some relays are read-only
If a relay is read-only, I guess it simplifies things. No need to delete your note from it if you can’t write to it
no no ... one relay shows my note, but I couldn't delete it because delete.nostr.com said relay is read-only
But if the relay shows your note, doesn’t it mean your keys signed a note to that relay, so it’s not read-only? Or maybe it just doesn’t allow delete requests
read-only sounds like a misnomer
It accepts your notes, but doesn't allow deletion
That makes sense. When I tried the delete button it said that relays may or may not accept the deletion request.
By curiosity, do you know which relay refused?
relay.noswhere.com
Is that a relay for searching notes or npubs? I think I heard about this one before
Just a regular relay
I think it’s a search relay. Probably why you can’t delete from it

It's a pretty popular one but finding out that it doesn't support delete requests might prompt me to remove it. I also think more relays should honour edits. No point in editing a typo in Amethyst if the relays don't accept it.
